There's not much difference between the Surface 2 and its predecessor. Aside from the slight colour change (it's now got a silver finish)
It's still pretty much the same as the rest of the Surface family

Same rehashed design
No LTE option
Barren Windows Store
Desktop mode

9 ratio not great on tablet
The Surface 2 still isn't sure what it's supposed to be. It's a tablet/laptop hybrid that wants to be both
But only partially succeeds in either. While Office is bundled
It's not a touch-optimised version
Meaning you'll have to use either the Touch or Type Covers to get work done - making it more laptop than tablet. But as it's also a Windows RT machine
You won't have access to all the legacy
Lack of apps
Windows RT still feels confused and muddled
No legacy app support
Limited developer support
No LTE
Very heavy for a device designed primarily as a tablet
Disappointing sound quality
App store is limited
Can be unwieldy
Windows RT a confused experience
Naming convention is odd
Lacks app support of rivals
Odd aspect ratio for a tablet
Need to add a keyboard for best experience as virtual keys obscure view
No mobile connectivity
Restricted to Windows RT apps
Gets expensive with a Touch/Type Cover
Not enough apps at Windows Store (not even big ones like Facebook and YouTube)
Too few games & mediocre gaming performance
Screen borders still too wide
Poor quality rear camera
Proprietary port for charging
It's lighter than the Surface RT... but st
Super expensive
Only seventh gen Intel mobile chips
Older graphics processor
No Thunderbolt 3
No HDR support
Not upgradable
No AAC support
Only fold flat
Noise cancelling and sound not quite as good as rivals
Limited apps in Windows Store
Windows RT still confusing in places
Dreadful speakers
Too few quality tablet apps
Expensive jump to 4G
The limitations of Windows RT eventually becomes the main downside
The angular nature of the Surface isn't the most ergonomic
Päädyin antamaan Surface 2:lle kaksi arvosanaa, koska suhtautumiseni laitteeseen jäi hyvin kaksijakoiseksi. Toisaalta olin vaikuttunut laitteen ulkoisesta laadusta ja suorituskyvystä mutta en voi olla huomioimatta sovelluskaupan puutteita ja RT-järjestel...

Microsoft Surface 2 er et interessant bud på et nettbrett i et marked som domineres av Apples iPad, men også blir oversvømt av utallige Android-baserte produkter. Man får en komplett Office-pakke med på kjøpet, nettbrettet er raskt og robust bygget, og ...
Abstract: Det finnes nettbrett av så mange slag. De fleste av dem fremstår mest som litt mer avanserte mobiltelefoner med store skjermer. Surface 2 er unntaket. Med operativsystemet Windows 8.1 RT fremstår Surface 2 mer som en forenklet PC, enn som en diger mobilte...
Kort fortalt Microsoft Surface 2 skiller seg ganske mye fra andre nettbrett. Du kan gjerne kan gjerne beskrive brettet som en litt forenklet PC, med et litt mer industripreget design enn de fleste av konkurrentene. Apper kjører du i et fingervennlig gre...
Solid utførelse, god ytelse, meget god og høyoppløst skjerm, støtter brukerprofiler, minnekort, skjermutgang, USB 3.0port, innebygd støtte med to vinkler, god batteritid, 200 GB gratis nettlagring i to år, full Officepakke, fin pris.
Begrenset apputvalg fortsatt et ankepunkt, Windows 8.1 RT kan ikke kjøre klassiske Windowsprogrammer, det klassiske skrivebordet med tilhørende standard windowsprogrammer burde vært RTfisert for å skape en enklere og mer helhetlig brukeropplevelse
Microsoft har med Surface 2 ikke bare laget et meget bra og solid nettbrett, de har også sydd sammen en solid pakke med blant annet full Office-suite og 200 GB gratis nettlagring i to år (sistnevnte verdt nesten 1200 kroner). SkyDrive er tilgjengelig rett...
Abstract: Microsofts første forsøk på å slå seg inn på nettbrettmarkedet gikk neppe helt som planlagt. Riktignok brakte Surface-brettene en del nytt til markedet, men møtte raskt to svære motkrefter.iPads jerngrep på markedet ble utfordret av et vell av innovativ...
God ytelse. Knallgod skjerm. Nesten ekte pc-følelse. God batteritid. Full Office-pakke. Enkel i bruk.
Fortsatt litt snaut app-utvalg.
Vi har en mistanke om at mange ikke helt forstod hva poenget var med Surface RT. Til tross for ting som mer avanserte muligheter, bedre tilkoblingsmuligheter og full Office-pakke, maktet ikke Microsoft å selge spesielt imponerende antall Surface RT-ne...
